The 2015 Tournament of Books.

Yours truly was the reader judge last year. I’m spending the tournament as an excited spectator this time around. I’ve only read about half of this year’s tournament entries, so I can’t really pick a winner, but of those titles I’ve enjoyed, Dept. of Speculation has to be the best, so I’m rooting for Offill at this point.

Every new week day brings a new heavyweight literary bout, such as today’s.
